Do you ever get tired of buying plastic baggies for your children's snacks and lunches? I recently came across a company with the most ingenious product called ReUsies. ReUsies are a re-usable alternative to sandwich/snack bags. Each bag is made from 100% cotton lined with leak-resistant nylon and are secured with Velcro closures. There are tons of cute patterns to choose from. They come in two sizes.
Snack size fits items like pretzels, apple slices, or half a sandwich.
Sandwich size fits items like a whole sandwich, bagel or a large portion of snacks.

Each ReUsie can be machine washed and dried, washed in the dishwasher, or for longest life simply wiped clean with a soapy sponge and air dried.

ReUsies was started by a group of moms from Seattle, who wanted a solution to plastic baggies. ReUsies is a great alternative to plastic bags, and a fun way to pack your children's lunches.

I was sent both a snack size and lunch size ReUsie in the Going Green pattern. I have to tell you this is one of those products that you think Why didn't I think of this! It really is a great way to pack your children's snacks and lunches without using plastic bags, plus they are super cute!
I love the fact that they Velcro, which makes it easy for little hands to open. And most of all I love that you can machine wash or throw them in the dishwasher.

ReUsies can be purchased online for 6.95 for the snack size and 8.75 for the lunch size. If you think of how many plastic baggies you buy and throw away, these are really good prices. Right now they offer free shipping on three or more ReUsies.

Win it!
